Monkey Seed Orchids (Dracula Simia)

[emb5404]

Hello!

So I have seen that many people are being scammed when they buy these seeds. I am very interested in buying these, though! I was wondering if any of you were selling any legitimate seeds of this type?

It would be so amazing if you were!

Thank you for your help!

Growing most orchids from seed isn't like growing most other plants. The seeds of orchids don't have the energy reserves that other seeds do, and in nature require a specific fungus to be present during early development. Done artificially it requires sterile culture methods and a media containing the required nutrients.

- In general, a range of 55º -
70º F is good for Dracula
- Humidity is one of the most important factors in successfully growing Draculas. A range of 80%
- 90% is ideal.
- Draculas require a high quality water. An investment in an RO system will make your Draculas
happy. Rain water is also good.

99.999% guaranteed to be a hoax. Orchid seeds are tiny, mostly less than 1 mm, down to 75 µm long, and approx. 15-20 µm wide. Anything sold on web is nothing but a scam.
